Film Talks: 15 Conversations on Experimental Cinema, edited by Andrew Vallance and Simon Payne, is a collection of unique conversations on experimental cinema, involving a range of international film and video makers from the United Kingdom, Europe and North America. The book represents a snapshot of diverse ways that several practitioners have come to think about the field of experimental cinema, in relation to other art forms, moving image culture at large, and wider social issues. This touring film programme features over twenty 16mm films and video works by several of the artists who feature in Film Talks, drawing out new ideas and connections that span different visions of cinema.
Andrew Vallance and Simon Payne will be present to introduce the screenings. Copies of Film Talks will be available for purchase. For details of the book please see here.
Film Talks is supported by the Arts University Bournemouth and Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK.
